According to ongoing clinical research into feline health, the weight of an obese adult male Domestic Short Hair (DSH) cats is normally distributed with a population mean of 20 pounds and a population standard deviation estimated at 2 pounds. The office manager at Violet Veterinarians pulls a randomly selected chart for an obese adult male feline DSH. What is the likelihood the randomly selected obese adult male DSH cat has a weight between 17 pounds and 23 pounds? [COMMENTS & HINTS: Round to the nearest whole percentage and include the percent symbol.]

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
